"We enjoyed the properties location, the room was clean and spacious. Very friendly staff and the numerous fire pits around the property provided fun times and opportunities to meet other guest. I would recommend the property who is looking for a family friendly or intimate get away."
"We had such a wonderful and relaxing stay at Sea Otter Inn! From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed. The atmosphere is peaceful, warm, and inviting — perfect for a family getaway. The service was excellent, and every staff member we interacted with was kind, attentive, and accommodating.
The area around the inn is beautiful and serene, just a short walk to the ocean, with scenic views and fresh coastal air. The grounds are well-kept, and we especially loved the sparkling clean swimming pool and cozy jacuzzi, which felt like such a treat after a day of exploring.
We stayed with our 10-month-old baby and our dog, and it couldn’t have been a better experience. The inn is incredibly family- and pet-friendly, which made everything so much easier and more enjoyable. They even had charming little touches like a fireplace in the room and a lovely breakfast delivered to the door in the morning.
Everything felt clean, calm, and comfortable — we truly felt at home. We’re already looking forward to coming back. Thank you, Sea Otter Inn, for such a lovely and memorable stay!"
"The hotel is on a cliff right by the ocean. You cannot beat that! The construction is outdated but everything works as it should. The property is clean and staff is very responsive.
As with any property by the ocean in this area, expect some windy times and dress accordingly.
The Restaurant’s food has a good breakfast menu and all we order was very good.

"Great find of what is probably a historical hotel for the area. Definitely has that historic charm with the high end classic interior. Loved room seating area and we could open windows for fresh air. Only let downs were that we could never find the communal lawn area pictured around a firepit (I question whether this is a local park, not at the hotel). There is no view of the ocean from hotel; the brush has since grown too tall, but you can hear the waves from west side of bldg. Breakfast was the one/only serious underperformance. Waffle irons were the only hot food item (which is fine, it lists “continental brkfast”). But, what was offered was so illogically laid out and it made for impractical foot traffic patterns. More importantly, grade ‘D’ on being kept stocked. All carafes were out of coffee repeatedly. Juice, syrup, bread/bagels… all ran out (and this was at 8:30am, not the end). Made for a lot of frustrated and unhappy guests. Better to just offer coffee/tea and keep those stocked than this. I did laugh that on a credenza right by entry to brkfast area, the hotel had a local directory opened to a page for a nearby breakfast diner. This is a really neat and clean, classy vintage hotel. The lack of good breakfast is not a reason to pass on staying here. But in respect to this beautiful old gem, either uphold that standard or stick to coffee and offer a $10 voucher to a local diner. Do brkfast right or dont do it at all. Guests were NOT happy, espec @$200/nt"
"We love this cute little spot! We've stayed here twice now and it's truly a best kept secret! I love the mountain feel to it. The rooms are super cozy and comfortable and they always keep the light on for us when we arrive late. My favorite spot in Cambria."
